Abstract

Abstract: The use of the Internet in daily healthcare business processes is still minimal compared to other industries. Healthcare information is inherently "mobile", i.e. it travels with the patient - and therefore, the need for information to be ubiquitously available is key to efficient and improved diagnostic accuracy, reliable care and reduced medical errors. The following paper describes an elegant and intuitive wireless healthcare application for prescription writing and laboratory test review which leverages the Internet and significantly enhances productivity of physicians, clinical laboratories, pharmacies, while at the same time saving patients time, improving accuracy in healthcare and provides an insight into future trends in healthcare applications.
